Good Thanksgiving Eve, my friend and brother-in-Christ Maj Marty Hogan.
Heavenly Father, YOUR Word teaches us that godliness actually is a means of great gain when accompanied by contentment [1 Tim 6:6]. The Christ is the Word of God. HIS atonement, is our means of salvation and all grace including contentment.
I pray that on this eve of Thanksgiving in the USA, that each one is grateful, thankful and content in YOUR love and the love of our family members and friends. For each who seems to be devoid of human relationship, I pray that YOU fulfil YOUR role as the COMFORTER to each one in need of solace.
Fill each of YOUR adopted sons and daughters with a continual infilling of the Holy Spirit for service and ministry. Lead us as YOU will to be a blessing to each and everyone we come into contact with. Help us bring calm, peace and joy on Black Friday wherever we are.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

Good morning Mikel and all my friends on RallyPoint! I'd rather be content with myself than live trying to meet the expectations of others.
